The New Networking: Building Relationship Capital
The Digital Revolution is accelerating our access to knowledge and social media has revolutionized how we communicate. Businesses growth is often times grounded in quantifiable metrics and knowledge gained through erudition and professional designations. While a technical framework is required and fundamental to a successful career or business, we overlook the importance of what we can only measure qualitatively, including networking, leadership and respect. Success in life is a function of our interpersonal relationships.
Networking is a learned skill and does not require the personality of an extrovert. A memorable introductory conversation and exchange of business cards will increase relationship capital after applying a process for patient and purposeful follow-up. Creating a network of trusted friends and colleagues, who will provide information, introductions, mentoring and partnership, will expand your personal and professional opportunity set. Results follow planning, practice, and commitment.
An acute understanding of the intangibles or ‘soft skills’ is often required for nurturing new contact and developing a life-long friendship. While these intangible skills are taught and studied, their practice underpins the success of our most revered business, political, and humanitarian leaders in recent history. How does one quantify trust, communication, and emotional intelligence? The interdependence of our global economy places a premium on authenticity and relationships.
Learning objectives include:
• Recognize the process to network effectively
• Develop proven strategies for building relationship capital.
• Ensure a memorable introduction with your first impression.
• Implement techniques for using social media to support and grow your network.
• Use the internet to get off the internet.
